The next steps at 989 Loflin Hill Road, Lot 15 include backfill and landscaping. Residents at this property are not participating in temporary relocation because they are already out of their home for the duration of the removal for other reasons.
Residents in 989 Loflin Hill Road, Lot 28 will begin temporary relocation February 16; excavation will begin on February 17.
Due to weather conditions, some of the most recent areas seeded may have to be re-evaluated.
|
|
Septic field lines at 989 Loflin Hill Road, Lot 15 were damaged by being run over by the loader and excavator; these lines have been repaired by ERRS.
Rain and cold weather make it hard for the grass on the restored properties to grow; this will be a problem for all properties throughout the removal.
